10 Safety Configuration
10.1 Introduction
The robot is equipped with an advanced safety system. Depending on the partic-
ular characteristics of the robot workspace, the settings for the safety system must
be configured to guarantee the safety of all personnel and equipment around the
robot. Applying settings defined by the risk assessment is the first thing the in-
tegrator must do. For details on the safety system, see the Hardware Installation
Manual.
DANGER:
1. Use and configuration of safety-related functions and inter-
faces must be done according to the risk assessment that the
integrator conducts for a specific robot application, see the
Hardware Installation Manual.
2. Safety configuration settings for set-up and teaching must be
applied according to the risk assessment conducted by the
integrator and before the robot arm is powered on for the first
time.
3. All safety configuration settings accessible on this screen and
its subtabs are required to be set according to the risk assess-
ment conducted by the integrator.
4. The integrator is required to ensure that all changes to the
safety configuration settings are done in compliance with the
integrator’s own risk assessment.
5. The integrator must prevent unauthorized persons from
changing the safety configuration, e.g. by use of password
protection.
The Safety Configuration screen can be accessed from the Welcome screen
(see 11.4) by pressing the Program Robot button, selecting the Installation
tab and tapping Safety. The safety configuration is password protected, see 10.8.
